I want you to know I needed time to rest.   And, I must confess to you.   I am hardest on myself.   All I ever wanted was to try to do my best.   And I want tell the truth now.   I am unwell.      After awhile, I just lay down.   After awhile, my chin ain't up.   Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.   After awhile, it's all bad luck.      [Chorus]   Save me. Save me from myself.   Drowning in the wishing well.   I will try to rise above.   I am never good enough.      I want you to know that I needed time alone.   Don't you try to tell me that you really didn't know.   All I ever wanted was to never leave this bed.   And I want to tell the truth - my smile is just pretend.      After awhile, I got sleepy.   After awhile, safety lasted.   After awhile, disenchanted.   After awhile, I just fasted.      [Chorus]      After awhile, I just lay down.   After awhile, my chin ain't up.   Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.   After awhile, it's all bad luck.      [Chorus]      I'm no good for you.
